Organize It: Baskets

This is where my cleaning supplies are. How can it be the messiest place in my home? Somewhere along the way, I just starting throwing bottles, boxes and containers under my bathroom sink. Maybe I was tired from scrubbing the shower or wiping down a countertop. I got lazy putting these things away...and it got out of hand. The clorox wipes are dangling over the pine sol. The lysol is about to fall out of the cupboard. I just put it back and push the door closed before it can fall again.

I determined that this would be the next thing I clean. I could have just lined everything up. Instead, I grabbed a basket and put my supplies in it. I'm not reaching over the front bottles to get the back...knocking things over, that I don't pick up again. I love it. It looks far more tidy. Next time you want to straighten out a cupboard, grab an old basket that has been wasting space...and put it to work. Organize it! I am declaring here that I must keep the cupboard where I store cleaning supplies....clean!!

I do use a lot of baskets for storing "stuff",but being of odd sizes, they tend to take up a lot of space.I have tried everything to save space. I have finally come to the conclusion that what I need is "less stuff".
